Liverpool captain Henderson: We just want to keep winning

Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson says winning the Club World Cup won't be enough for this squad.

Roberto Firmino's extra-time winner against Flamengo sealed the club's first Club World Cup triumph after three previous failed attempts but Henderson was in no mood to rest on his laurels.

Speaking after the final whistle the Liverpool captain said: “It's nice to win a trophy, that's what we want to do.

“Keep going and win as many trophies as possible. We've got another important game next week so it's all go.

“Recovery and on to the next game. We've found a way for a long time now. Some late goals.

“But we just want to keep going onto the next game now, onto the next performance.

“We'll keep improving, keep our feet on the ground, keep working hard and keep on putting in performances like that.

“We kept going. It was a good performance. Mentality again shone through.

“Should have probably scored a couple more. Defended really well, so overall delighted with the result with the performance.

“[They were] difficult conditions but fair play to the lads, they kept going until the end and got the goal in extra time."
